Nice!!!!! He's in form of late..i liked the playing on that Alice song too...hope his next solo album kicks ass...or a new VR record features some hardcore solos!
#8553 Re: Guns N' Roses » New Bumblefoot Interview (w/ Shackler's Info) » 919 weeks ago
I think SR shows ron can deliver a kickass track anyway. Most of us were happy with the results of the track whomever the performers and writers turned out to be...and that's what counts.
Anotehr thing to consider is that just because ron plays the solo doesn't mean bucket's stuff was removed...there's no reason he had to put a solo down...a lot of his solo albums are strange..some songs have huge solos..others don't...for all we know his real imput might have just been the opening "crashs" which are clearly in his style...but there's no knowing how Axl evolved the song from there...maybe in the bucket era it had no solo...we don't know.

#8555 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » New GNR vs old GNR/ GNR vs Velvet Revolver thread » 920 weeks ago
Good Call 
I'm a fan of all three of the bands you've listed, and all the artists within them, both as solo musicians and group performers. I think they all have various strengths and weaknesses....which is what makes these arguments so endless.
Anyway..so just thought i'd say upfront...here's a big cheer of "Thanks and Respect" to them all before we get started endlessly analysing who is better and worse...(of which i'm sure i won't be able to help myself either) - as its all going to be subjective and all these musicans have brought something to my life.!
#8556 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » New GNR vs old GNR/ GNR vs Velvet Revolver thread » 920 weeks ago
I completely agree with everything you said, but I can see how this old debate constantly gets started when it's only natural people would compare the old material vs the new.
I agree with the above comment. I think by virtue of the changes to the personel, the changes in musical genre, the controverys, the branding of the new/old band and simpily the passing of time, to an extent it's going to be inevtiable for comparisions to be made and fans are going to have to accept that there is never again going to be a consensus point of view regarding the band again, and learn to deal that some 'tired' arguments will always develop over the issues.
However at the same time. I can see a need for us to try and keep it somewhat undercontrol. If every thread gets back to the same topic it becomes boring for us all. Imagine. The band plays a nude resort. Someone says Axl has big balls. Someone else says that was obvious because of how he fired the old line up. Someone else says that the old line up are quitters. Then we decend into an the abyss of which camp is more talented, truthful, sucessful, streetcred, sold-out and the nude resort gig becomes irreleveant to it's own thread. That's a silly example but exactly the way it goes.
I agree maybe when we express our opinions we just have to not intentionally phrase things in ways that turn it into a team arguments. NGNR vs GR or Slash vs Axl, or Bucket vs BBF etc.
Myself I'm a fan of both the new and the old band. Slash is why I decided to play guitar, Axl is my absolute favourite vocalist and lyricist and frontman, bumblefoot shows me how much better on guitar some people are than me....I like them all for different reasons.
#8557 Re: The Sunset Strip » BUCKCHERRY Frontman Reveals Favorite Albums Of All Time » 920 weeks ago
Doesn't surprise me he lists GNR, you can hear the GNR influence heavily in the music...although more in the guitar structures than the vocals I guess.
I'm hanging to get Balck Butterfly it still hasn't been released in OZ I don't think. Really got into a bit of buckcherry recently.
Don't undertstand why timebomb floped either...IMHO its quite similar to 15 both of them are much better than the debut record.

Things brings a smile to my face as my ex-girlfriend hates country music and is pretty unkeen on skid row as well..putting them together will really shit her to tears lol.
Myself I don't know much country music, but i'm fond of baz's singing..so i'll check it out.
#8559 Re: Guns N' Roses » The "Best Buy" leaks » 920 weeks ago
Can someone tell me about the guitar parts - you can hear what ron has added? But are the solo melodies different on CD (I liked the old Robin/Bucket combo solo)? And what about the tar parts overall? More impressive? Less? Thoughts anyone?
#8560 Re: The Sunset Strip » METALLICA Discussion » 920 weeks ago
Metallica is a very deserving band for this, a lot of good records, a lot of 'firsts' and a lot of influence on younger artists.
